Our Science Plan
To Beyond Celiac, a cure means real treatment options so those with celiac disease can live healthy lives and eat without fear.
To Beyond Celiac, a cure means real treatment options so those with celiac disease can live healthy lives and eat without fear.
With your support, Beyond Celiac will be the catalyst for the next wave of practical celiac disease research efforts.
The large, diverse celiac disease community continues to suffer from high daily burdens in coping with the disease, and we need treatments and a cure. Beyond Celiac has crafted its science plan to change the future for the 3.2 million Americans living with this serious autoimmune disorder.
Through Go Beyond Celiac and other initiatives, we are collecting and analyzing comprehensive data on the burden of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. With this information, we can increase awareness and make a compelling case for larger investments from government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, biotech and more.
Patient Registry & Database
We have built, and continue to expand, a patient database and registry called Go Beyond Celiac.
Improving diagnosis rates and addressing regulatory barriers with NMQF
We have formed a partnership with the National Minority Quality Forum to unearth and address health disparities in celiac disease.
Coalition to accelerate clinical research in celiac disease
We’ve brought together biotech, pharma, and diagnostic industry, clinicians, and scientists to overcome patient barriers in clinical trials
Diversity and healthcare equity initiative with Takeda
We have formed a partnership with Takeda to identify and reduce disparities in celiac disease diagnosis and management, aiming to raise awareness and help minority patients participate in clinical trials.
We are funding promising research that quickly translates from scientific investigation to clinical use, speeding the development of treatments for patients.
Early Career Grant Award to study CD8 T-cells in celiac disease
Racial and ethnic healthcare disparities in celiac disease diagnosis
Established Investigator Award to study the gut-brain connection
Research partnership with Janssen to prevent celiac disease
Awards to study RNA sequencing in celiac disease
As the nation’s top recruiter for celiac disease clinical trials, we will continue educating our community about the importance of participating in trials. We will also work with pharmaceutical companies to ensure trials are designed with patient perspectives in mind.
We will invest significant resources to identify treatments that have been investigated or approved for other purposes but might also benefit celiac disease patients, reducing risk, cost and time to market for potential celiac disease treatments.
